Today at 1:00 p.m. the Buffalo Bills (3-5) will take on the undefeated Kansas City Chiefs (8-0) in Week 9 NFL action that can be live streamed by clicking this link. Chiefs fans can check out the radio broadcast on KCFX 101.1, while Bills fans can tune in on WGR 550 AM.
The top priority for the Bills today will be stopping Chiefs running back Jamaal Charles, who has rushed for 635 yards and six touchdowns already this year. Kansas City has ridden Charles, and a careful pass attack that minimizes risk to an 8-0 start.
"We're not trying to be the beauty queens. A win is a win," said wide receiver Dexter McCluster. "We know we're going to have to fight. This is the NFL."
The Bills thought they had their own version of Charles in the backfield in C.J. Spiller, who has fought ankle problems all season. Compounding their injury issues are a knee injury to E.J. Manuel a few weeks back, and the sore ribs of current starter Thad Lewis. Running back Fred Jackson also has a few body parts barking at him.
"It probably is happening to every other team, but we're talking about it now and we've got to just get over it," said wide receiver Stevie Johnson, fighting a strained hip flexor. "There's nothing we can really control. We're out there and playing football and this is what happens when you play in this league."
Despite their injuries, Buffalo still feels af it it can make a run to the postseason. "Guys are still confident," Jackson said. "We've got a good opponent coming in this weekend that gives us an opportunity to go out and win against a team that's 8-0, give them the first loss of the season and try and build on that."
